+# CLimate Analysis using Digital Estimations (CLAuDE)
+The tool which we'll use to accomplish this is CLimate Analysis using Digital Estimations (CLAuDE), an intuitive, 
+simplistic model of atmospheric dynamics.
+
+**The purpose of CLAuDE is to be:**
+- versatile, such that users customise which modules of code will be used in a given simulation
+- a teaching tool, both for programming and climate physics
+- accessible, designed to run even on basic machines with appropriate parameters
+
+**Objectives**
+- Modular, so users can customise the complexity of the model and write their own modules.
+- To answer questions through YouTube videos about hypothetical planets, that would use the output of CLAuDE
+
+Beyond these goals, we hope that it can become a useful resource for teachers and students discussing climate 
+and atmospheric dynamics.
+
+### Community
+
+**Discord**
+
+If you wish to discuss CLAuDE and other things related to climate and atmospheric dynamics, feel free 
+to join the [Dr. Simon Clark Discord Server](https://discord.gg/SZu6e2F).
+
+**YouTube**
+
+Simon creates videos about climate and atmospheric dynamics, as well as videos hypothesising 
+if fictional planets could be a reality, based of what we currently know. 
+
+If you think you'd enjoy this videos, you can watch him [here](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRRr_xrOm66qaigIbwFLvbQ).

+**Twitch**
+
+CLAuDE is currently being developed on Wednesday [Twitch](https://twitch.tv/drsimonclark) streams every week!
